Please join us in next week's Brunel Performance Research Seminar:
Wednesday February 5: 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM Drama Studio, Gaskell Building 048, Cleveland Rd, Uxbridge, UB8 3PH Maria Chatzichristodoulou (School of Arts/Creative Industries, South Bank University): "Live Art in the UK: Shaping a Field” This presentation will pose questions around the nature of Live Art as a cultural phenomenon within the British art scene and the cultural specificity of its identity. It will set out to reflect on the process of shaping a cultural sector and consider some of the forces, parameters, circumstances and events that gave rise, directly or indirectly, to the conditions which were needed for Live Art to emerge as a particular set of practices, distinct from visual arts or theatre. It will do this through presenting the viewpoints of three "creative catalysts," which have played an important part in the emergence and continuous development of Live Art. Those are: the Live Art Development Agency (London), Compass Live Art (Leeds) and SPILL Festival of Performance (London and Ipswich). The presentation will also introduce the edited collection Live Art in the UK, published in December 2019 by Bloomsbury.
